Sint-Truiden form and stats

1 win, 3 draws and 0 losses. That’s the product of Sint-Truiden playing as the away team in the Pro League this season. One point away has become something of a habit for Sint-Truiden who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Sint-Truiden has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Genk for a 3-3 draw. Drawing 3-3 against Genk after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager Fink needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Koita had a super day against Genk scoring three goals, but the draw result hurt. The attacker Koita got a match rating of 10.0 in that game. Koita scored three goals, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 19 successful passes (of 21 total).

Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Mechelen.

The travelling fans enjoy Sint-Truiden's attacking play in away games, having scored 7 goals in 4 league matches away. In the opposite end, Sint-Truiden have conceded 6 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
